Coloring German Expressionism—Art Study Center at Home

After the successful release of "Coloring Ancient Egypt" in 2020, the museums are excited to preview the next in our series of activity books, "Coloring German Expressionism." In this seminar, Jen Thum, Lynette Roth, and artist Hannah Herrick will discuss how they conceived the book; the challenge of selecting examples from the Busch-Reisinger Museum’s expansive holdings; and how German expressionism can be an exciting means to explore the dynamic nature of color and its application.
